Laurie, this is a wonderful idea. I would be tempted, but I am headed to Bilbao on or about April 1st to resume my Camino del Norte and will be on the Norte through the middle of May. But what a wonderful idea.
Best,
Mike

Camino Cleanup–What a unique view of the pilgrimage walk. I will hold that adventure in my prayers for the fortunate few who will give their time and efforts. Laurie, I so enjoy your posts, and love to know that the Bay Area walkers who choose the Camino, regardless of their motivations, have you as an excellent and consistent source of information.

Heya Laurie,
Will you be part of this group? We will have to touch bases since you’ll be in our neighborhood.
Peace.

Hi Rennie, I’ll be walking part of the Norte in May, but it would be great if you and Karin can meet.
